“i wish all my pals were here so i could delete my x account”
delete it anyway. you have free will. you can just do it. stop using your friends as excuse cause if those ppl aren’t willing to leave the fash website with you, then maybe they shouldn’t be the kind of pals to be keeping around?

dear people who are simply “waiting for x to die”: it won’t just die, we need to kill it by deleting all of our accounts. the platform only continues to exist as long as there are people on it. by remaining there, you are passively prolonging its existence.

Paved with Love
Happy Pride month! 🌈🏳️🌈
I spent a long time thinking about what to paint for this year until I saw a photo of flagstones covered in chalk art of various rainbows. It made me realize that the path to equality and a better tomorrow is paved slowly, step by step, and with love.

The survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse—their voices matter, and it’s time for Congress to listen. I signed the discharge petition that would force a vote to release the Epstein files because the survivors deserve justice and peace. Release the files.

if you’re willing to throw another population under the bus to save yourself, you’re not actually willing to fight fascism.
fascism isn’t a bear, it can’t be escaped by simply outrunning someone slower than you.
the only way it can be defeated is through solidarity.

The Great Farewell
The children will never know
How the ocean used to flow
They'll never miss the whales
They'll never believe the tales
But I will remember, I will tell
Of all that lived and their great farewell

How the ocean used to flow
They'll never miss the whales
They'll never believe the tales
But I will remember, I will tell

This one truly took so long to paint ;_; I've always loved paintings with lots of tiny hidden details but couldn't work on those very often because of my hand injury. But I decided to really indulge this time.
